Most engagements are completed within 2 weeks.

What if we run into challenges converting that are not in-scope?

We do our best to identify potential complications at the beginning of the engagement to avoid surprises, but in the instance that we run into unexpected challenges with your conversion, we will work with you to find an adequate resolution. Your success and satisfaction is our number one priority.

At the end of the engagement, you will have:

  1. Servers that have been converted to a user-based licensing model
  2. Users with appropriate site roles
  3. A working process for on-boarding users and managing their license levels 

Can I purchase multiple Role-Based License Conversion Jumpstarts?

Is the engagement delivered remotely or in person?
